Prison Fellowship Advocacy

Thank you @GovLauraKelly for declaring April as #SecondChanceMonth in the great state of Kansas!

Every quarter, Prison Fellowship's newspaper Inside Journal brings encouragement and biblical truth to men and women behind bars. This National Reading Month, we celebrate the readers who are growing in wisdom and faith with every page. Today, we’re honored to share three original poems written by incarcerated men. We hope their words inspire you as much as they’ve inspired us.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people. —1 Timothy 2:1 Love to pray for others? Join our Prayer Team here:pulse.ly/nqdh8mjyp7

Spring break has arrived for many across the country, and it’ll soon be time for summer camp!

@JusticeReform #AdvocacyInAction South Carolina families deserve a justice system that restores, not destroys. As a Justice Ambassador with @prisonfellowshp — and as a mother, wife, and community member — I’m stepping forward to help strengthen families, elevate lived experience, and bring real stories into the rooms where decisions are made. Our state is ready for transparency, accountability, and reform that reflects the dignity of every person. I’m committed to working with leaders, advocates, and communities across South Carolina to make that happen. If you’re working on justice reform, reentry, or second-chance initiatives, I’m here to collaborate. Let’s build something better for the families who need it most. #SCPol #SCReform #SecondChances #Restoration #FaithInAction

Listen as these women lift their voices with the powerful words, "The battle belongs to You, Lord," finding strength in Jesus.

After his 44th arrest, Chris knew his life needed to change. What he didn't expect was that moving into the "God pod" would lead him to surrender his life to Christ in just three days. His youthful freedom caused his drug addiction, but now he dedicates his free time to running his church’s @PFAngelTree program and ministry “Under HIS Construction” with his wife. Don’t miss the powerful testimony of how Jesus completely transformed Chris’s life! pulse.ly/jlaqeyvjn6

Last week, Legislative Strategist @Scully_AEA presented testimony in support of SB 291 in the @ohiosenate Judiciary Committee. We are happy to advocate for #secondchances with our partners @asjpolicy and @UnifyUSOfficial.

A 50-year sentence almost broke Darryl, but one winter night in prison, everything changed. As he stood surrounded by men singing "What a Mighty God We Serve," he felt a powerful stir within him. He dove into God's Word and began his journey of transformation. Discover more about Darryl's incredible story of change and see how the Prison Fellowship Academy equipped him with the tools to transform his life. pulse.ly/rnkbk78wlv

We are thrilled SB 1450 has passed the @oksenate! The bill provides an early end date for those consistently paying their fines and fees. Thank you to Sen. Julie Daniels for sponsoring this measure, and thank you to our partners from @OCPAthink, @OKJusticeReform, @RightOnCrime, @FinesandFeesJC, @JusticeActionUS, and @CJIatCRJ for their support.

Prison Fellowship Prison Ministry Manager Brandon Boyce shares the exciting news of another Prison Fellowship Academy graduation! "Last Thursday, we celebrated 23 men who graduated from our Prison Fellowship class. These graduates didn't just make a commitment; they lived it. They showed up, stayed consistent, pushed through challenges, and chose growth over comfort. This moment represents discipline, perseverance, and faith in action. "We also had Chaplain Torrens give a powerful message of hope and renewed strength. We are so grateful to him and the Florida Department of Corrections. "Let us congratulate this class because it's only the beginning."
